UK destinations don’t come further flung than Shetland & Fair Isle; this six-night fly-drive demonstrates why they are two of our favourite islands.

Over the past few years we’ve fallen head-over-heels for Shetland, a wonderful land of oddness and otherness, rich in antiquity, unique culture, incredible scenery, warm welcomes and the longest of summer evenings.

While 27 miles offshore to the north of Shetland mainland, the island of Fair Isle, the UK’s furthest outpost island, is a tiny and breath-takingly beautiful jewel, rich in birdlife and with a dedicated community whose love for their home residents are only too eager to share with the few intrepid visitors who make the journey each year. It could be you…

All our trips are tailor-made, so just let us know if you’d like to spend longer in the far north, perhaps combining with Orkney too.
